GolfTrips.com Owner “The dot-coms seem to be the most user-friendly”

Archeo Domains (Division of Marchex) did a feature post on the owner of GolfTrips.com, the post came on the heels of the owner Brian Weiss purchasing GolfOklahoma.com from Archeo. Weiss is acquiring Golf related names according to geographical region. Weiss is building out a directory of golf related websites that currently is over forty names.

Weiss made it clear he is only interested in .com:

Consider Your Customer’s Habits

When looking for a domain name to add to his network, Weiss prefers to search exclusively for a dot-com. “The dot-coms seem to be the most user-friendly, and when people search online they’ll type in dot-com more often than the other extensions. We didn’t want to lose any of the dot-com traffic.” Clearly, by purchasing dot-com domain names, Weiss is thinking about how to make his websites easy and intuitive for his customers to find.

Comments

People do not seem to understand the DOT actually interrupts the phrase, or statement in regards to the domain. I see people with Keyword1Keyword2Keyowrd3.Extension, and it makes no sense in regards to the order of things.
